Simulation of multi-radio multi-channel 802.11-based mesh networks in ns-3

In the context of wireless network simulation, many simulators are capable of evaluating the performance of single-channel network protocols, but they need many modifications to be able to simulate multi-radio multi-channel networks. We address the problem of simulating channel assignment protocols...

In addition, we explain the details of simulating the Semi-dynamic Interference aware Channel Assignment (SICA) protocol as an example. We use SICA as a reference to address the challenges of validating and verifying the simulation model. To validate the channel assignment model in SICA, we use mathematical validation based on Markov chains. Furthermore, we propose a novel automated test module to verify the simulation process.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Government under project TEC2012-32354 (Plan Nacional I+D) and TIN2013-47272-C2-2, and by the Catalan Government (SGR-2014-1173 and SGR-2014-881)SpringerOpen201520152014info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/23260http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1687-1499-2014-118reponame:Recercat.
